MY NAME IS MOHAMMED, according to our custom as a Fulani, since I was the youngest; I was the first to rise early in the morning to perform my duties
I would start a fire for the cattle to keep flies away from them then bid my parent. Next I would milk the cows, and then release the calves to their mother and take them out to graze. Any Fulani who does not graze the family herd is considered useless. This was my vocation
Right from my child hood, I loved my father very much. I love to do everything he does even when he prayed, I prayed along with him.
I’ve determined to please my father and my God, this determination grew as I became older
10yrs later, one day I called my father I would like to make a request, He ask what was my request and I told him I will like to get proper education, I’d like to attend an Arabic school to learn more about the Quran, He agreed to my request and send me to Bauchi to Attend sheik Ibrahims’ School . for three years, I studied the Qur’an in Bauchi at the home of Sheik. There were other student there, so I was not the only one.
We learned the fundamental and life application of Islamic religion. From there I went to Gombe and Spent two years learning more about Islam and how to interprete Qur’an , then Later I spent two years in Maiduguri continuing with my studied of the qur’an. By the time I get to zaria, I was already writing and reading Arabic. I spent one year in Zaria to advance further in Qur’an studies. At this time I was twenty-two years Old. So I began looking for a way to go to Saudi Arabia for yet more advance studies, it was at this time my father sent for me. He thought its best to stay at home while we look for the means to travel down to Saudi. He suggested it would be best for me to get married first before going to Saudi. That was how I came home. I spent a year at home and I became a spiritual leader and teacher at home
One day after the evening prayer, my father expressed his concern that I wasn’t yet married, but I felt the best for me is togo to Saudi Arabia and finished my studies befor getting married, that my heart desire to know Allah more.

MY DREAMS
One night, I had a dreams and there were these demons chasing me and flogging me, suddenly I woke up, It was very scary and could not go back to sleep again that night. I didn’t go any where that day but could not tell anyone about the dream. The following night, after supper, I fell asleep, these demons started chasing and flogging me again. Suddenly a white shining man appear, and these demons ran away in different direction. Theis white shining man said, MY SON< WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I DON’T KNOW I SAID (I don’t know what He meant by the question) shall I take you home he asked, I said yes.
He took me home and said, my son I love you. When I had the second dream, I wasn’t afraid, I didn’t break out like the first dream, I wondered who the Man was
Why did he helped me and why is he telling me He loves Me? Then I decided to tell my father about the dream. He took me to a native doctor, and He gave me an incense to use in my room at night and the dream will never return, but that night, it was even worse, that the man in white cameback and rescued me again and before he depart, he will repeat his word I LOVE YOU MY SON. One of the demon has a long fangs and claws. After that dream , I told my dad again, and he promise me to visit another herbalist in SOKOTO
The seventh dream I had, I was with a Bible and I tried reading it but could not understand, suddenly the white shining man appears and everywhere was shining. He ask if I understood what I was reading I said No
Would you like me to help you? He asked
Yes please
He picked up the Bible and said, Mohammed, this book is from God. It contains the very word of God. All these verses are God’s word. Come to mee all of you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. I am meek and humble of heart, and in me you will find rest.
Have you ever heard of the way, the truth and the life? He asked
No, He said I am the way the truth and the light, no one can come to God except trough me.
Who are you I asked
He said you know me as prophet ISA; I have come to you to give eternal life. If you accept me as your Lord and savior, you will become a child of God. Does God have children? I ask
God’s Children are born from his spirit, not from the flesh.
Do you believe in God He ask, I do, I said
Then believe also in me, in this world you will face trials but rejoice for I have conquered the world. Would you receive me? Yes I Said.
That morning I decided to visit a Christians Man in a neighboring village, his name is Jonathan. He was a good man so I shared my worries with him, then we both went to Bauchi to see a preacher there. I told him my dreams and he urge me not to waste time, but to accept Jesus as my lord and savior. He lead me in prayer of accepting Christ, after then, I felf Joy and peace I’d never felt before. All fears and anxieties were gone

MY TRIALS
Suddenley I felt God’s spirit leading me to go home and tell my family, but My father replied angrily, Now I must be dreaming! My son become a Christians? So my Muslim son has become an infidel! Someone wake me up I won’t allow it!
A week later, my father summoned me to find out what had happened. He noticed I was reading the Bible and no longer attended mosque. He said, nothing like this has never happened in our family before, and will never happen again! You have two options-deny Jesus or leave this house forever!
I said, you are my father, I love and honor you and would never do anything to hurt you. But I will continue in what I know is true. I will continue being a Christians until Jesus comes to show me where to go.
When my father saw that I was determined in my course, he incited all my relatives to treat me as a pariah. Several months went by, he brought people to my room and force me to drink poison. I ask him Baba, you really want to poison me? Then I said Jesus, I am drinking this poison because of you, my life is in your hand, then I drank it. My father and relatives conferred and agreed that once I had died they would throw my body in a river. They were waiting for me to die, but I went in and slept, but nothing happen to me. I slept deeply. The next morning, I was the first to greet my father! But he was very sad that I had not died. He immediately filed a report with the Islamic community inciting them to arrest the people who had influenced me to become a Christians. The chief magistrates passed a verdict; I was to be shot with a gun and killed. When my father returned that night, he gathered our relatives and gave instructions that I must be banished in the morning, he wanted to meke sure of one thing. I want you to go to that forest and make sure you stop him! Do you hear me? Put an end to him! The next morning he ask me to go and live with whomever you wish! But for me you will never live with me again! On my way far from home, I was shot with a poisonous arrow. I fell to the ground writing in pain from the arrow that hit me. The pains was so intense I nearly passed out. Then God sent me help in form of a hunter from Jonathan’s Village. He knew about me and the persecutions I faced. He carried me to the main road, and put me by the roadside. As soon as we got there, a motorist arrived and took us to as expensive hospital called Rimi Clinic where I was operated on. The Christians in Jonathan village paid my hospital bills
I stayed there for one month convalescing. After that, I lived in Jonathan’s village for a year and half. When my father found out where I was, he reported it to the Sharia court.
I spent six months in prison, then I was released and sent home with a police escort. As soon as I got home, my father gathered the villagers and encouraged them to be nice to me and treat me well so that I would forget about being a Christians. Not only that, as a reward for leaving Christ, he promise to give me back my cattle and pay bride price for three wives. He also promise to put the past behind us.
Satan is very cunny
For seven month I cared for the cattle. My relatives thought things has went back normal, but I knew that my faith was slowly dying. I realized that my father and my relatives were trying to separate me from God and that I had to make a firm decision
One day My father called me in and ask me to sit down, he would love to talk about the woman I will marry. He had finished all the preparation. But I told him I appreciated all his efforts, but I have a need beyond engagement and marriage. He ask me what, I told him only Jesus can give me what I need.
He ask me to tell him what Jesus can give you that He cannot? I ask if he can give me eternal life, He said No, I said, I can leave Jesus if you cannot give me my need. I left him and went to live in Jos, I lived there for two years. I did not communicate with anyone in my family during this time.
Then I received a message from home – my father was in the hospital and wanted to see me.
When I get there He ask me to forgive him for all he did to me. I have wronged you and you never uttered a word. I replied I have already forgave him long ago
But I never ask for your forgiveness, he said
The bible teaches us to forgive, I replied
He said, My Son, hold on to this God of yours with all your might.
Baba, he can be your God too, I said
He asked me what kind of God would accept me after all the sin I’ve committed? He is a God of love. He only require one thing I said
How much does it cost? He asked
No baba, it’s a gift. I answered
What is this gift he asked?
It’s a gift through Jesus Christ. Accept him and he will become your savior, he will give you eternal life.
Will you accept him, Baba? I asked
I would like to receive such a gift. He answered
Then Lets pray
Repeat after me I said
Lord Jesus Christ, I come before you asking you to forgive all my sins and become my god and Saviour. Amen
I was very happy when we finished the short prayer
Then I said, let me pray for your healing.
But He said, don’t pray for my healing my son,
I said Why? He is the God ho heal us
But he answered and said, I don’t want to be heal my son, I am now ready to go and meet Jesus.
Three hours after we prayed, my father died, he was filled with peace and joy, my father knew where he was going, he knew he was going with Jesus, Our reconciliation made up for the pain of the past. God wash them away,
How about you my friend? Are you ready to have your sin forgiven? Listen to me… God is a God of comfort and hope. He is faithful; a God of truth and righteousness, he is the way and the truth, and it is only trough him we gain everlasting life. Prepare yourself to repent and receive him, and let he be your lord and savior. Are you ready to repent and receive him as your Lord and savior? He is ready and waiting for you. Call upon him now, He will meet your needs, he will make you victorious in life.

God sees all heart, he knew Mohammed truly want to serve him, but he was looking for him in a wrong direction. God said I will appear to those that were not looking for me; I will say a big congratulation to you Mohammed. I give thanks to God because your father soul was saved at last, May you and me also inherit the kingdom of God in Jesus name

MY COMMENTS

It is in the nature of a parent to protect and provide for his children; Mohammed’s father was no exception. Then Mohammed crossed a line, In the eyes of his father, Mohammed deserved death. He was offered the opportunity to recant, but in good conscience he could not, he knew that he had experienced was more than a dream. What a different picture we see when we compare the relationship between Mohammed and his father with that of Jesus and God. Mohammed father decreed that Mohammed die for his perceived sins and God father decree that Jesus die for the sins of the world.
You may ask, had Jesus displeased the father in some way? Not at all, in the Gospel of Matthew,3 God says of Jesus..this is my beloved son in whom I’m well pleased. Throughout his earthly ministry, Jesus did nothing to displease his father, why then did his father- I refer to God now- why did he call for his son to die a criminal’s death on cross, scorned and covered with shame? Why would a perfect Father condone the death of a perfect Son, a Son who pleased him in every way? The reason is found in the mission of the Messiah. You see, Jesus didn’t come into this world to do his will, but that of his Father. In the book of John 3:16 for God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 4 :10, we read. ‘This love, not that we loved God but that he love us, and gave his Son as a sacrifice for our Sins.’
God has made a way for us to reach heaven, my friend. It is not through our good deeds or some act of heroism, it is not necessarily through a dream or vision, trough, as we have seen God will use this as a way to reach us with the message of salvation. The only way to heaven is trough faith – faith in Jesus, as He said about himself, I am the way, and the truth and the life... no one come to God except trough me. Do you seek to please God? Do you wish to be assured of heaven? If this is your desire, you need to know it is also God’s desire for you.
Pray now with me to receive forgiveness of your sins and the gift of eternal life.
MOST HOLY GOD, I AM A SINNER. I CANNOT SAVE MYSELF, I AM ASKING YOU LORD JESUS TO COME INTO MY HEART AND FORGIVE MY SINS. AMEN
If you prayed this prayer with all your heart, God has forgiven all your sins. Welcome into the family of God

GOD IS AWESOME!

Wonderful testimony. May God strengthen your faith!

Jesus is Prophet "isa" inside the quran, yet many muslims are blindfolded to accept Jesus.

This God is Good. Jesus is inside the quran but mohammed is not in the Bible,

Oh! God open the spiritual eyes of muslims to see and accept Jesus.

The only Bible verse that draw the line between christianity and islam is John 14 : 6 " I am the way, the truth and the life" Mohammed never made such a declaration.

Op, thanks for sharing.

God bless you. God2man.

Hmmmm...why does peril sound so much like hyghyo?

Loving God indeed.

my brother,are u in hell now? NO.
Are u in d fire right now? NO.
You r on earth and u r enjoying d grace and mercy of Jesus,even when u dnt believ in Him,but soon dis grace and mercy will no longer be available hence consider eternity!
Hell was nt made for man bt satan and his demons!
But as many that refuses God and reject His offer of salvation-Jesus Christ,His death,His atonement; then hell is d destination of such person!
''For God did not send His Son to condemn the world but that through Him,the world maybe saved"...John 3:17.
accept Jesus today,Let His light flood ur heart&let Him transform ur life!
His knocking at d door of ur heart,tomorrow maybe too late.

Jesus loves you.

Brother, congrats in a billion. I greatly rejoice with you. The Lord Jesus will uphold you to the end.

Hmmm what a testimony! The conversion to christianity is very similar to mine. I pray God to uphold you as He has done to me this past 18 years.

The only thing that make me happy is the father accepted christ before he died
God mercy endureth forever. Despite all the evil thing his father did to the child, for accepting Christ, yet he gave him a chance into his kingdom

Do you know why God is God? Because he can never change his word. His mercy end up on sinner immediately after death. After death, and the sinner is not saved, God is more wicked than Satan, because there will be nothing like mercy from God

U can see that no body preached to Mohammed. So that the Muslims will not say he was brain washed by a pastor. This goes to prove what the bible says, "it is not by power, nor by might, but by the spirit of God says the Lord."

You can laugh the way u want. It is Jesus that is saving people. Their is Jesus in the Quran and their is Jesus in the bible, but their is no Mohammed in the bible. Well, the best way to prove that Jesus is the only way is to pray about. After all u believe in one God, which is right. Then why don't you take out time to pray in secret to God that created you and me to reveal to u if Jesus is the true way or not.
